Wandering Meteor

Dark starry sky.

A gigantic "fireball," fifty astronomical units in size, was burning fiercely, surrounded by a band of Heliosphere material with a radius of seven thousand light-years.

This is the new Wandering Star System, which spans twenty thousand light-years in diameter and is comparable in size to some small nebulae, only less complex in internal structure, hence not quite considered a nebula.

At the same time, not far from the new Wandering Star System, the eyes of the Little Entropy Beast grew increasingly blood-red.

Because in the detection of the Little Entropy Beast, Constant Star Lu Chen, who has been absorbing the Heavenly Nebula and Black Hole Nebula, along with the planets that make up the new Wandering Star System, are all targets undergoing rapid entropy reduction, reaching the required elimination targets set by the Entropy Beast system!

Therefore, the Little Entropy Beast chose to take the initiative and attacked the gradually perfecting new Wandering Star System.

At this very moment, as the new Wandering Star System was just forming, Constant Star Lu Chen was using Constant Star Wind to sweep meteorites and other materials from the inner orbit zone into the Heliosphere, increasing the density of the Heliosphere, while the seven Civilization Planets of the Wandering Alliance, after clearing the inner orbit zone, began to settle into their respective orbits.

However, at this moment, the Little Entropy Beast suddenly attacked, its gaping maw aiming to swallow Earth Civilization.

By this time, after devouring the Cannibal Tree and the seven planets it inhabited, the size and mass of the Little Entropy Beast were actually not small, much larger than Earth, and its gaping maw was significantly larger than Earth, resembling a cosmic monster capable of devouring everything. Swallowing Earth and its ten billion lives posed no difficulty at all.

Of course, this situation was very likely to occur previously, but times had changed now.

Today's Wandering Alliance had already reached the peak of Level 4 Civilization technology, and had even set foot on the threshold of a Level 5 Civilization after mastering the Information Wall technology. As one of the oldest veteran members of the Wandering Alliance, Earth Civilization was the core of technology and institutional systems of the Wandering Alliance, as well as the birthplace of the civilizational system, and detected the sudden attack of the Little Entropy Beast promptly.

It was at this time that the Wandering Alliance belatedly remembered the existence of the Little Entropy Beast at the scene.

Previously, the Wandering Alliance, eager to clear the battlefield after eliminating the Battle Star, had momentarily forgotten that the Entropy Tree had not been completely destroyed by the Anti-molecule forces, it was only hit by Information Reversal and split into the Little Entropy Beast and the Cannibal Tree as two separate entities. The Little Entropy Beast, after devouring the Cannibal Tree and noticing the high entropy reduction values of the Wandering Alliance, took the initiative to launch an attack on the Wandering Alliance, which then noticed the existence of the Little Entropy Beast. If the Little Entropy Beast had not taken the initiative to attack, the Wandering Alliance might not have noticed its presence since the Little Entropy Beast, being entirely dark and uninvolved in electromagnetic force reactions, was indeed difficult to detect without deliberate detection.

...

Among the stars.

The Little Entropy Beast launched a surprise attack at an alarming speed, using a space wormhole to approach Earth Civilization, and its massive jaws clamped down directly toward Earth Civilization.

In just a moment, Earth Civilization was wholly enveloped by those gaping jaws. At that moment, everyone on Earth suddenly found that day had turned into night without any warning, and in the pitch-black sky seemed to lurk a giant beast capable of devouring the heavens and earth, exerting immense power. Although Earth Civilization was in crisis, it did not panic. Upon detecting the sudden assault of the Little Entropy Beast, Earth Civilization immediately activated the Jump Engine, and in the instant the giant maw snapped shut, it vanished from its original location, reappearing within the new Wandering Star System.

After the Little Entropy Beast missed its strike, it did not give up but instead continued its pursuit towards the Wandering Star System to fulfill its mission.

Seeing the action of the Little Entropy Beast, the Wandering Alliance immediately convened an emergency discussion, primarily focusing on how to deal with the Little Entropy Beast. There were two opinions within the Wandering Alliance; the first was to simply eliminate it, the simpler solution; the second was to subdue it, firstly to continue researching the origin of the Entropy Beast and some related technologies, and secondly to attempt to convert the Little Entropy Beast into a weapon for the Wandering Alliance. With this, coupled with the Metal Planet Wandering, the Wandering Star System would then possess dual layers of protection.

After a short discussion, the leader of the Wandering Alliance, Constant Star Lu Chen, ultimately decided to implement the second plan.

Given the current level of technology within the Wandering Alliance, subduing the Little Entropy Beast was not difficult. Hence, expending a bit more effort might lead to unexpected gains later.

As soon as the decision of the Wandering Alliance was conveyed, the Little Entropy Beast had just emerged through the Space Wormhole within the Wandering Star System. Its terrifying huge tail lashed out at the nearest Wandering at the speed of light.

Upon seeing this, the Wandering Alliance was not surprised, as their detection technology had already identified the precise movements of the Little Entropy Beast within the wormhole and predicted its emergence point. Thus, just before the Little Entropy Beast appeared, the Light Synthesis Civilization, Earth Civilization, and Metal Civilization acted together, forming a triangular position to surround the Little Entropy Beast, then used the Four Base Space Shield to imprison the Little Entropy Beast within a fixed triangular space. Subsequently, Earth Civilization used the Celestial Body Capture Device to segment the triangular space, successfully capturing the Little Entropy Beast.

As for the Wandering, which the Little Entropy Beast had targeted, it had already retreated ahead of time after serving its tactical purpose of luring.

At present, the Little Entropy Beast was imprisoned within the Celestial Body Capture Device, but it continuously tried to break free from its confinement using the Unified Force Decomposition technique, albeit in vain. Compared technologically, the Wandering Alliance was much stronger than the Little Entropy Beast, having already installed an equivalent Unified Force Accelerator inside the Celestial Body Capture Device, rendering all attempts by the Little Entropy Beast futile. Unless the technology of the Little Entropy Beast could break through the level of Unified Force, there was a slight chance, but this possibility was virtually nil. Under such circumstances, the Little Entropy Beast seemed to also realize that escape was hopeless and thus roared helplessly, its ferocious appearance growing more gruesome, with the red in its eyes deepening!

Green Star, witnessing this scene, suddenly remarked, "Previously, my companions and I were chaotically slaughtered by the Entropy Beasts, but who could have thought that today we could capture an Entropy Beast so easily? It seems that my decision to join the Wandering Alliance back then was absolutely correct. I also believe we will definitely reach the Cosmic Center eventually, after all, if we could survive such a massive crisis this time, what can't we solve?"

"Indeed, the only pity is that the sacrifices in this war were a bit too great!" said Constant Star Lu Chen.

The Wandering commented, "Ah, the sacrifices were indeed great. Nearly all the accumulated Battle Stars have been lost. However, the silver lining is that we gained a lot this time, including an increase of billions in the mass of the Wandering Star System. Lu Chen, your mass has now reached a horrifying 21 billion, truly a rich haul!"

Compared to Constant Star Lu Chen, the Wandering's growth was not so apparent, even negligible.

Due to some tactical purposes earlier, the Wandering sacrificed many of its duplicates, losing a lot of mass, and during the cleanup after the war, it only managed to absorb back its original metal mass, showing some increase but not significantly, especially considering the original dual Constant Star Mass of the Wandering, it was quite negligible.
